That's why I suggested that we encourage people to download the
snippet database. It comes as a tarball of the snippets (each saved
in a different file; I assume just like input/*/*.ly ). It should be
just as
easy to search that.
We could even make semi-official snippet collections -- instead of
simply having nightly tarballs, we could have occasional
"snippet releases". Or just include a nightly tarball with each lilypond
release.
It just seems that LSR is a nicer way to maintain "tips and tricks" than
the current input/test/ . AFAIK, nobody's really maintaining input/test/
(I should probably be, but I haven't looked at it in ages), and we
certainly don't get contributions from non-CVS committers. I believe
that LSR _does_ get user contributions. And it's certainly easier for
a user to add stuff to LSR than it is to get it into input/test/ .
If we could eliminate input/test/ while maintaining a bunch of greppable
snippets, would you be in favor?
